Physician Testimonials

"I have known Dr. Adela Casas for the past several years. I have both worked with her as a colleague as well as a pediatrician to her four busy young boys. Dr. Casas is a wonderful, skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner. She is easily approachable for all things big and small. She is well-respected and well-liked by all members of the health care team. My patients and their families are always extremely pleased with her care. If my son every needed surgical care, I would call her immediately. I know he would get the highest quality care.

Sanford is extremely lucky to have such a high quality, knowledgeable, and well-rounded surgeon on staff."

"Dr. Jon Ryckman has been an excellent addition to the Sanford Children's team. His calm demeanor and thoughtful approach earns the confidence of doctors and families alike. The feedback that we have had from our patients has been uniformly positive. Personally, I have found him to be very approachable and have appreciated his willingness to discuss cases and provide insight for our service."

"After joining Sanford Children’s several years ago, Dr. Casas has defined what it means to be an excellent Pediatric Surgeon. We have had many patients in common. Her technical skills are remarkably good, and her personality makes her a joy to work with. That combination endears her to the rest of us subspecialists and to her patients and their parents.

Without exception, she acts with compassion for the children and their parents, and passion for the quality of her work. Dr. Casas is oriented to detail. She is always willing to discuss and see a patient about which we have concerns, and readily willing to engage other subspecialists to ensure a child receives a comprehensive approach to their care. Her relationship with patients and parents is exemplary.

If, God forbid, one of my children needed surgery, I would trust them to the hands, mind, and heart of Dr. Adela Casas. She has earned our respect, our affection, and our gratitude. I am proud to call her a partner in providing the finest quality of medicine for the children in our care.”
